Apple includes a setting to limit your location tracking in iOS 26.3
Apple lifts the veil on a function of iOS 26.3. It should please those attached to protection of their data. It will be possible to limit the accuracy with which cellular networks can determine your location on iOS 26.3. This is because cellular networks can determine your location based on the cell towers your device connects to. Apple’s new setting simply limits the accuracy of this location data.
“ When this setting is enabled, some information transmitted to cellular networks is limited. Therefore, the location shown may be less precise, such as the neighborhood where your device is located, rather than an exact location, such as a street address. This setting has no impact on signal quality or user experience. », Indicates the Cupertino-based company.
No products found.
Apple specifies that the exact position limit setting does not impact the data shared with emergency services during an emergency call. It also doesn’t impact what you decide to share with your loved ones in apps, like Find My.
Please note: for the moment, no French operator offers this service. The feature is currently limited to operators based in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Thailand. You need at least an iPhone Air, iPhone 16e, or iPad Pro (M5) Wi-Fi + Cellular to use this setting. Since the functionality requires the presence of a C1 or C1X modem. Obviously, you should install iOS 26.3 or a newer version.
